Dear Ball State Business Fellows:
Congratulations on your completion of the Business Fellows program! We had a great group of students this year. You were selected for the unique skills and characteristics that you would add to your project team and to the entire program. I have enjoyed meeting most of you at the different workshops and seminars and I hope that your year as a Business Fellow proved to be a rewarding and hands-on learning experience.

The third year for Business Fellows has come to a close and there could not have been a more fitting celebration of all of your accomplishments than the Business Fellows Showcase last week. Your projects demonstrated professionalism, extraordinary skill and talent, dedication, and hard work. The campus community and business partners enjoyed learning more about your projects and especially liked hearing what you learned and what skills and knowledge you will take with you into the professional world of work. While the answer may have been different for each of you, we hope the Business Fellows program achieved a measure of its goals to assist you in gaining hands-on practical experience related to your academic studies. The skills you developed will make you more marketable in your job search. Thank you for all you have done to make this third year of Business Fellows a success. The university is proud of the work you have done, and you should be proud too.

You will receive one more paycheck this semester, on May 15. Remember, if you do not have direct deposit, you need to pick up your check on May 15 at the bursar's office in the basement of Lucina Hall.

Finally, to aid us in knowing the effectiveness of the e-newsletter that we have been sending you at least once every month, we would appreciate your taking time to provide us with feedback on Fast Lane .

Good luck to the graduating seniors; I hope that this experience will aid you in your career goals. To the rest of the students, I wish you all the best as you pursue different opportunities this summer and in the year to come.
